Tuesday’s GCC Membership Meeting – Affordability

Growth and Affordability

February Membership Meeting

Tuesday February 16, 7:00 – 8:30

Greenwood Library

8016 Greenwood Ave. N

There is broad agreement that housing affordability is one of the most critical issues we face as our City grows and becomes more prosperous. Last year, Mayor Murray developed an action plan and community engagement is expected to ramp up this spring. In preparation for engagement on this important issue, GCC will facilitate an open and interactive community forum on growth and affordability.

The intent of the meeting is to outline Greenwood’s key affordability issues and questions, discuss opportunities, and lay the groundwork for further focused study by committees and feedback to the City. Please bring your ideas/questions and be prepared to share them with your neighbors. We hope to see you there!

The land use committee meets on the second Tuesday of each month.

Current topics include the Seattle 2035 comprehensive plan update, current legislation on low-rise housing, micro-housing, and parking requirements in urban villages among others.

The Land Use committee strives to project a vision for how Greenwood should develop as a more vibrant and walkable neighborhood, and to advocate for infrastructure and private development that will advance it.
